Hello, my name is William (Reid) Burton. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and am a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW (Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers). I am also a member of the OASW (Ontario Association of Social Workers) and the CASW (Canadian Association of Social Workers). Prior to becoming a Registered Social Worker, I worked in the social service field as a Developmental Service Worker and as a Youth Worker in the correctional system. I have been working professionally in clinical social work since 2021 as an Outpatient Social Worker in the health care field.

Who do I work with & What can I help with?

I work with teens and adults wishing to access therapy for a wide variety of reasons including anxiety and depression, grief, situational crises, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with men dealing with mental health concerns requiring non-stigmatizing supports and a comfortable space to work through difficult emotions.

My Therapeutic Approach

I strive to provide my clients with an open, warm, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic environment and seek to tailor individualized care to meet each person’s needs. I have a calm disposition and connect with my clients through appropriate humor and a compassionate stance. I will provide both guidance and support in your therapeutic journey, “having your back”, while you disclose your personal story and as we work through the things that have brought you to therapy.

My Training

I have had formal education in CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy), and Mindfulness. My practice is eclectic in nature and mixes talk therapy with the targeted use of these modalities to help meet your therapy goals.

What Else you Should Know

When you are ready to begin, I look forward to using my professional skills to accompany and support you on your therapy journey.

Hi my name is Tara, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I’m a registered member of the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO), and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

Who do I Work With & What can I Help With? ​I have a passion to work with all people, of all ages! I understand how hard life can be and am empathetic to the struggles we are all dealing with. My ideal case load includes a mix of teens, adults, and couples. I strive to support each client with unconditional regard, acknowledging they know themselves best. I collaborate with each client to come up with goals and coping mechanisms that they feel comfortable and confident in implementing throughout all areas of their lives: work, school, and socially. This may include areas such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, work stress, school behaviours, life transitions, relationship stress, and parenting support.

​My Therapeutic Approach: I enjoy building a strong therapeutic alliance with all clients using warmth, humour, and honesty; I have been known to dabble in irreverant communication! My goal for each person is to not only feel comfortable and supported, but to look forward to and enjoy their sessions. Clients will feel secure, supported, and advocated for. I excel at building a solid rapport with both teens and adults- people are my thing!

My therapeutic approach centers on person-centred therapy. Each client is different! Within this framework I work with varying theories and modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT), Behavioural and Acceptance and Commitment Theory (ACT) and Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT). My therapeutic modalities include Motivational Interviewing, and Strength and Solution-Based approaches. I enbrace challenge and am not afraid to explore all theories/modalities if I feel they could help my clients.

I use the Gottman Method Couples Counselling when working with couples. The goals of this methology are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship (https://www.gottman.com/about/the-gottman-method/). Couples counselling can be especially intimate and vulnerable; I hope to empower couples with the above tools to help build strong relationships!

Training: I have previously received my B.A in Education and now my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology! I have also completed Level 1 & 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

What Else Should you Know? I am approachable, friendly, and excited to work with you! I am available for TARApy Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays throughout the day/evening. Let’s work together to help you on your life journey! ​

Hi, my name is Steve, and I am a clinical intern at Counselling Bruce County while completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with qualifying status through the CRPO. Before moving into counselling, I spent time working in leadership, coaching, and consulting, supporting people as they navigated a variety of challenges and changes in their lives. I have worked with people dealing with uncertainty, difficult decisions, relationships, pressure, and questions about what comes next. These experiences shaped my belief that people often benefit from having someone who can listen without judgment, help them make sense of what they are experiencing, and support them in finding a way forward. That belief continues to guide my work as a therapist.

Who do I work with & what can I help with? I work with youth ages 10+, teenagers, and adults of all genders. I aim to create a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing and work toward what matters to you. I can support clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, low confidence, difficult transitions, or uncertainty about what comes next. I have a particular interest in mindfulness and sport and performance psychology and enjoy working with athletes and others who are navigating performance-related pressure. I believe counselling can provide a space to feel heard, understood, and supported.

My Therapeutic Approach My approach is integrative, drawing primarily from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe counselling works best when it is collaborative and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing, develop a better understanding of the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be affecting you, and consider practical ways to move forward. ​ ​Training​ I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Wilfrid Laurier University and am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have completed additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) through the Beck Institute, Mindful Self-Compassion, and am a Certified Sport Psychology Coach.

What else should you know? I am available for appointments on Saturdays and Wednesdays during the day, as well as virtually days or evenings. I receive regular clinical supervision from a Registered Psychotherapist as part of my practice. If you are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk through what you are experiencing, I would be happy to work with you.
